QristyI think this is my favorite card in the game. It's a 6/1 dual-rank, which means you could make, say, a "sleeping wand" in the sense that it puts people to sleep (purpose)... or in the sense that you better not wake it up (condition).

Charlie McHenryI know this is petty, but has anyone else noticed that no one, and I mean nobody including well educated professionals, on-air personalities, even teachers appears to know how to use “I” and “me” anymore? “Me” appears to be going away for good, as everybody now substitutes “I” in instances, both written and spoken, when “me” should be used. Don’t come at me, I’m a wordsmith, a story teller, and these small details are part of my DNA. #EnglishGrammar #GrammarNerds
